Chapter 051

Su Yun came back with Han Ting.

When she walked outside the dormitory door, she heard Lin Xiaohan talking to Han Ting outside the boys' dormitory, so when she entered the dormitory and closed the door, she only closed most of the door, stood with her hand on the door frame and listened.

I heard Lin Xiaohan's words out of the blue.

Her heart was shocked, and the hand that was holding the door frame subconsciously grabbed the door frame.

When Han Ting heard this, his heart sank and his whole face wrinkled.

He looked at Lin Xiaohan and subconsciously lowered his voice: "Are you following me?"

Lin Xiaohan looked at him and smiled, but didn't answer.

He certainly didn't follow him.

He doesn't have the time, nor is he that bored.

He just saw the condom hidden under Han Ting's mattress.

Family planning supplies can be obtained free of charge.

There was none in the brigade’s clinic, and even if there was, they didn’t dare go to the brigade to get it.

The county town was too far away and they didn't have time to go, so they could only go to the commune's health center to get it.

If you go alone to pick it up, you will inevitably be questioned.

If any flaws are revealed during questioning, trouble will inevitably arise.

Therefore, it is easy to infer that the two of them must have pretended to be a couple to get it.

Of course he wouldn't tell Han Ting how he knew.

Just let them guess for themselves; their guesses will make them feel more stressed than what he says.

Lin Xiaohan took a step closer to Han Ting, looked at him and said, "You know, I am a progressive young man with a very high level of ideological awareness. I will not tolerate such things. Whether to report it or not is up to me. So you'd better remember, don't come to me and Tang Chuxia for food."

***

The morning light awakens all things.

The hen clucked a few times after flapping her wings.

The broken enamel basin fell into the chicken coop, and several chickens ran over and stretched their heads to peck at the food.

Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan finished feeding the chickens together at the chicken coop. The alarm clock in the boys' dormitory had not rung yet, but Han Ting and the others got up one after another, unlike usual. However, none of them looked energetic.

Han Ting and the others are different from usual.

Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan were of course still doing what they were supposed to do as usual.

Usually, Han Ting and his friends would start laughing and making a lot of noise as soon as the alarm rings.

But today, since the ten people got up, no one spoke. They all had gloomy faces and kept silent, as if they had lost their voices.

They didn't eat coarse grain steamed buns today either.

Instead, I cooked porridge with cornmeal and cooked some dried sweet potatoes in the porridge.

We served the porridge in bowls and sat down to eat. Each person had a bowl of porridge with a few dried sweet potatoes.

In the past, some people complained that whole grain steamed buns were not tasty.

Today, faced with such bland food, no one spoke.

It’s not that we have accepted our fate and can endure such hardship.

But they are so miserable that they are no longer in the mood to complain. If they open their mouths, there will inevitably be an argument.

If we had a quarrel, I would have felt unhappy for half a year and would be so anxious that I would not be able to stop quarreling.

Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan finished breakfast early and left the educated youth site.

After walking out of the yard for a distance, Chu Xia looked back, then turned back to look at Lin Xiaohan and asked, "They quarreled last night because of the lack of food. Did you hear it?"

Lin Xiaohan hummed and said, "I heard it."

Chu Xia followed his steps and said, "How about we move the food to school at noon?"

The steamed buns and ground flour they had were enough to last them until they could build their house.

Knowing what Chu Xia was worried about, Lin Xiaohan didn't ask any more questions and replied, "Sure."

Chu Xia didn't think about it any more, and said with a sigh of relief, "Just bear with it for a few more days. Once the house is built and we move out, we can completely draw a line between ourselves and them, and no longer be influenced by them every day."

Lin Xiaohan turned his head and glanced at Chu Xia.

After reading it, he said in a relaxed tone: "I didn't expect you to be so cruel."

Chu Xia smiled at him with curved eyebrows, "After being with you for such a long time, I must have learned something."

Lin Xiaohan: “…”

***

Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan went to school and finished their morning half-day classes as usual.

After school at noon, the two did not go directly back to the educated youth center to have lunch, but went to the brigade's storage room first and pulled a cart back.

After returning to the educated youth site and having lunch, they moved all the remaining ungrinded grain onto a cart and took it to school.

When Han Ting and the other ten people came back at noon, their faces looked even more gloomy than in the morning.

Because I had a bland breakfast, I felt hungry soon after arriving at the construction site. The pain of doing physical labor while hungry was a hundred times more painful than usual, and my mood was naturally even more devastated.

When I came back at noon, I still ate the same meal as in the morning.

Faced with such a meal, thinking that I would not be able to escape in the afternoon and would have to work on an empty stomach, I naturally felt even more miserable and irritated.

I felt mixed emotions, but I was trying hard not to lose my temper.

Just at this moment, Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan were seen moving the food and leaving.

Seeing Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan pulling the cart out of the yard, Gu Yuzhu was the first to lose control and said, "What does this mean? Are you on guard against us? Who do you think we are?"

What's the difference between the two of them doing this in this situation and directly slapping them in the face? Isn't it obvious that it is disgusting and annoying them?

I don't have anything to say about Lin Xiaohan.

Guo Gai took a big sip of porridge, put the bowl heavily on the table and said, "I didn't expect Chu Xia to become so cruel and cold now..." He sneered and said, "As expected, people who keep bad company will become bad."

He had originally thought that if there was really no other way, he would shamelessly ask Chu Xia for help.

After all, Chuxia and they have been childhood friends for more than ten years, and Chuxia has been kind and righteous since she was a child. After something like this happened, she would not just watch them starve to death.

As a result, they didn't even show any intention of asking for help, so Chuxia started to guard against them directly.

The way she looked now, she looked a hundred times more cruel and cold-blooded than Lin Xiaohan.

It seems that there is no enmity between them and her.

Inexplicably, she first threatened to refuse to cooperate with them, then threatened to break up with them because of ordering steamed buns, and now she is watching everything they are experiencing with inhumane cold eyes.

She was clearly able to help.

But not only was she unwilling to even extend her hand, she was also on guard against them.

Taking away all their food at this critical juncture is not only a clear statement of attitude, but also a humiliation to them.

Thinking about what happened last night, Han Ting now didn't want to hear anything about Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan.

He picked up the bowl, drank the porridge and ate the dried sweet potatoes, then got up and left.

In this atmosphere, Chaozi and Guogai didn't stay in the kitchen for long. They finished their meal and left together.

Su Yun naturally joined them, finished her meal quickly, got up and followed them out.

As Su Yun walked out to the yard, Gu Yuzhu suddenly shouted at her, "You guys are leaving after eating like this, who do you expect to wash the dishes?"

Su Yun heard it but pretended not to hear it and did not turn around.

Gu Yuzhu was so angry that she threw her chopsticks on the table.

***

Han Ting couldn't stay in the educated youth point for even a minute in this kind of atmosphere.

I found a place outside to sit down and just took a breath when Chaozi, Guogai and Su Yun followed me soon.

Then Chaozi, Guogai and Su Yun just sat down, and Han Ting said first: "Don't mention those two."

Seeing Han Ting's attitude, Chaozi and Guogai naturally didn't mention Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan.

Given Chuxia's current attitude, no matter how much they say, it will all be useless nonsense.

Guo Gai was silent for a while, then looked at Han Ting and asked, "So what should we do now?"

Han Ting didn't respond. Chaozi thought for a while and suggested, "If you ask me, why don't we just disband and each take care of our own business? I can't eat when I see those people's faces. Things have come to this, and the food is for everyone to eat. Shouldn't we sit down and discuss how to solve it calmly? It's as if we all eat the food, so we should solve it ourselves."

Han Ting did not respond to Chaozi's words.

He couldn't say such words, let alone do such a thing.

If he proposed to disband at this critical juncture, wouldn't that be an admission of his own incompetence?

He took a deep breath, looked up at the sky and was silent for a long time.

After a moment, he lowered his gaze, looked at Chaozi and Guogai and said, "If you dare, why don't we go to the brigade's granary at night to take a look?"

Hearing this, Chaozi and Guogai were both stunned.

Of course they understood what Han Ting meant, and after a moment they looked at each other and exchanged glances.

They didn't speak.

Han Ting added: "If you don't dare, forget it."

The three of them have been playing together since they were young, and their relationship is so close that they can even wear the same pants.

The reason why they have been able to survive until today is the loyalty and loyalty between brothers.

Pot Cover said, "As long as Brother Ting makes the decision, what are we afraid of?"

Chaozi nodded, "Brother Ting, you have the final say on what to do. We will listen to you."

He is indeed his good brother.

Han Ting raised his hand and patted Chaozi and Guogai on the shoulders, and said with great satisfaction: "It's worth it for me, Han Ting, to have good brothers like you two in my life!"

At this moment, Chaozi and Guogai both felt that death was worth it.

Su Yun naturally understood what they meant.

When Han Ting, Chaozi and Guogai were immersed in their brotherhood, she could no longer hold back her silence and said worriedly, "I disagree. It's too risky for you to do this. What if you get caught?"

After expressing his feelings to Chaozi and Guogai, Han Ting felt infinite power in his heart and felt much more relaxed.

He looked at Su Yun and said, "What kind of risky things have we not done before? Now is a critical moment. As long as we can get through the difficulties, what does it matter if we take a little risk?"

Su Yun didn't think so, and frowned, "Why is it worth it? Since you came back last night, you said that the brigade didn't give you advance food. What else have the six of them done except complaining and blaming, and shirking responsibility? Taking such a big risk for such a person, how can it be worth it?"

Han Ting said: "It's not all for them. Don't we have to eat too? They have always trusted me. This time I really thought the problem was easy and didn't solve it well. It's normal for them to panic."

Su Yun looked at Han Ting, still worried, "What if we get caught?"

Han Ting took a deep breath and said, "Just trust me, nothing will happen with me."

Su Yun: "But..."

Han Ting: "No buts, Su Yun, you know I hate women being nagging the most."

Su Yun was choked by his words.

Han Ting reached out and held her hand in his palm again, and said to her in a soft tone: "Don't worry about it, just trust me, I promise to come back safely, okay?"

Su Yun naturally saw that her words were of no use to him.

He has never been a man who can be controlled by a woman, neither Tong Rui nor she.

Su Yun pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said no more.

***

Su Yun spent the entire afternoon in anxiety.

After washing up and going to bed at night, the uneasiness in her heart reached its peak.

Everyone else in the dormitory was asleep, and she wasn't asleep either.

Nearing midnight, she heard the sound of a door opening in the boys' dormitory, and then heard someone muttering as he walked out of the yard. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

She covered her chest with both hands and did not follow him out.

After that, I kept praying in my heart, praying that Han Ting and the other three would return safely.

Han Ting, Chaozi and Guogai woke up after a nap.

Wang Xiangqian glanced at his alarm clock in the moonlight outside the window. It was one o'clock in the middle of the night.

At this time, everything was quiet and all the dogs in the village were asleep.

Han Ting, Chaozi and Guogai moved quietly out of the educated youth site. Each of them held a pre-prepared sack in his hand and went to the location of the brigade's granary in the dark.

The brigade’s granary was also adobe house.

There were doors and windows on the house. The wooden grilles in the windows were arranged so closely that only one hand could fit in, and the doors were locked.

For Han Ting and the other two, breaking into the house and picking the lock was a very easy task.

When I was in school, I hung out outside and learned skills like fighting and picking locks.

The three of them explored around and carefully reached the door of the granary.

Han Ting took out a piece of wire from his pocket, picked up the lock on the door, and inserted the wire into the keyhole.

But after a while, the lock opened with a click in his hand.

Holding his breath and moving slowly, Han Ting removed the lock, opened the bolt, pushed the door open and entered the granary.

Chaozi followed Han Ting in quietly, leaving the pot cover outside to keep out the wind.

After Chaozi and Han Ting had loaded the food and came out to the door to keep watch, Guo Gai went in with the sack.

The pot lid was filled with food and the door was closed.

He put the bolt back in, took down the lock hanging on the buttonhole, and prepared to lock it back in place.

As Guo Gai was holding the lock, he had just touched the button of the bolt and hadn't yet put the lock into the buttonhole when he heard two clanging voices from behind him: "Who is it?! What are you doing?!"

Hearing these two deep sighs, Han Ting, Chaozi and Guogai all became nervous.

Han Ting reacted quickly and shouted "run". Guo Gai threw away the lock in his hand, and together with Han Ting Chaozi, he turned around and ran away with the sack on his back.

***

“Bang!”

The gunshots startled the birds in the forest.

Su Yun was so startled that she sat up suddenly from the bed.

The sound of dogs barking could be heard one after another in the quiet village.

The chickens in the yard also became restless. They came out of the chicken coop, flapped their wings and cackled a few times.

Su Yun sat on the bed, clutching her chest tightly, her breathing rising and falling uncontrollably.

She was extremely panicked, her heart was pounding so hard it almost jumped out of her chest.

Others were also awakened by the gunfire.

Li Qiao asked in confusion: "What was that sound just now?"

Chen Sisi was also confused and replied, "Who is setting off fireworks?"

Gu Yuzhu turned over and continued in a daze: "Who is setting off fireworks in the middle of the night..."

After saying this, the three of them quickly fell asleep again.
